I just bought a 87 GN apart, after freshing the motor I did a compression test to check things out. I had 150 psi on every cylinder. What should a Buick have? I thought this was high and wonder about running it on pump gas. Can anyone help?

Pretty normal ... depending on altitude, cam overlap, humidity, ring seal, etc. it is usually 140-160 psi.
